Not sure if this is in the right area...
I am looking for interesting meals for a 'not overly picky' three year old.
Or any sites or books that can be recommended.
Thanks.

If they aren't picky then you should be OK with your normal meals just downsized for your 3 y/o.
For breakfast fun you can fry an egg in toast. Just cut a hole in the middle for the egg. Another thing is invest in a griddle. They work great for making mickey mouse pancakes. One reguler and 2 silver dollar size poured at same time and you get the basic form. Grilled cheese with bacon is an added treat for finger foods.

Twinkie15 disagrees : Y.A.S.D.A.R.
You want to explain yourself?

I'd like to know what Y.A.S.D.A.R. stands for.
I'd also like to know why Califdad's post warranted a disagree, there was no factually incorrect information.
I think it's time for someone to read the rules of the site.

Here's a site --
Easy Recipes for Kids - BHG.com (http://www.bhg.com/recipes/childrens-favorites/)
I wore out this book with my own kids and while being a den mother for seven years --
Amazon.com: New Junior Cookbook (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) (9780696220005): LASTBetter Homes & Gardens: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Junior-Cookbook-Better-Gardens-Cooking/dp/0696220008/ref=pd_sim_b_1)
Grow a small garden if possible. My kids learned to love veggies if they got to plant the seeds, weed the garden, and harvest the crop. We grew green beans, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, and beets. They helped plan meals and then helped me shop by printing the list, using it while we shopped, choosing the products while comparing brands and prices, taste-testing at meals, and, when they were big enough, helping me prepare foods and cook them.

Wow, I had no idea any one posted on this thread. Thanks for the sites! Great recipes WG, and excellent info and ideas Kit.
Tried the Micky Mouse pancakes they went over great!
WG, I do have my own garden, we grow sweet peas, snap peas, carrots, green beans, turnip, squash and pumpkins. She LOVES carrots and beans, and most all other veggies, it's trying to get the protein in. She doesn't like peanut butter, but would eat eggs 3 meals a day if I would let her.

Google search turns up nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

I don't think I've ever seen twinkie needlessly disagree with a post before, certainly not with such seeming gibberish.

Hheath, this is twinkie15, a young teen, a new member -- not our usual "twinkie."
(Today is Monday. Are there new photos posted somewhere?)

Oops, that's what I get for not paying attention.
No pictures, yet. My work schedule is messing with the picture schedule.
